Here is my work in progress. This is my animation of drawing Thinking.... I draw drawing like this:

Well...at first, I use Photoshop. Than I color background atblack. Than I made 2 new layers: one for sketch,and one forcolor (layer with sketching is invisible at the end- I hide thislayer). I used round brush with low opacity (around 12%).At first I color skin with larger opacity (20%- more), just forthat black background (you can use smaller opacity, if thebackground is lighter. If it's dark you can spend a lot of timeto color your drawing). For the better details I use smallerbrush and smaller opacity. Than I can draw vein in the eyes,hair, wrinkles...

Animation was made by my 23 WIP drawings, which I draw in Photoshop CS4. I draw this drawing about 18 and a half hours...

Now you can see how I draw...comments and questions are welcome

Perfect drawing. When I watch this animation it looks like you just stick parts of picture on the canvas. It looks so easy, when you do it - and then I saw that you spend 18 hours for this art.So the bottom line is great talent, photoshop skills and a lot of patient. And you have all of that.You have my admiration.

Your drawing method makes no logical sense! Is it only because the sketch layer is invisible that the facial proportions end up so well? Or your freehand/rough estimations are amazing, which is also quite likely.
